supposed to be NO, not NP lol
Can't say it can't be done, you can give away codes for the game via the PS NOW service, there was a few other games i seen that came with older version with a code to redeem for a digital copy via PS NOW.
Although i literally had just rented and beat the game less then a week ago, still be nice to have it. If its not available atm on PS NOW, then give a code and a date it will be available by so people can redeem it later, its a no brainer.
